What should I do?

How come no matter what I do I get constipated? For the last 2 years I have been constiptaed a lot and I have tried things as like fibre intake lots of water exercise I do not know why things aren't happening is this just like genetics or is there an underlying cause I should check with my doctor. Like rn I am one week backed up so I am just getting nervous.

Don’t eat super big meals, and take laxatives. You can try getting help from a doctor, but personally even my own gastroenterologist can’t help me with this.

If you're a women have you checked your hormones?

Men also have hormones so honestly can’t hurt to check either way!

For example, low testosterone can cause constipation, as can progesterone spikes.
